With that strange quality that it has Blue Cross to self-destruct at key moments did the unthinkable to be defeated 2-3 by the UNAM Pumas that not only did they give the felines the ticket to Play in, but they left it in the hands of Toluca the general leadership for the league for the title.
Definitely inexplicable aspects that only has the cement painting in the moments where he should supposedly respond to his noble hobby with that personality that in the 70’s decade made them one of the big four of Mexican soccer.
A defeat also that will make Blue Cross face the surprises in the league Chivas, in the duel between third and sixth place, where it will no longer move and which will be played in three weeks when the competition can begin. league series for the title after the FIFA date.
But now in the Cuauhtémoc stadium they once again showed that they are very far from that mystique of the Marin, Quintano, Kaliman Guzman, Wendy Mendizabalamong others to ruin a 2-1 advantage in the second half that they had achieved coming from behind with two goals from the Uruguayan Gabriel “Toro” Fernández.
Because the Argentine Lorenzo Faravelli did the same as Kevin Mier in the last tournament and that Ignacio Rivero in the last game of the regular phase of the last tournament to get himself sent off when he most needed the Machine to their entire team to withstand the feline onslaught in the second half.
But a bit of that and a bit more than the technician Nicolás Larcamón It took too long to identify how to control the way the picture of the situation came upon them. UNAM and he took the ball away from them so they could be closer to victory than defeat.
Thus, both the celestial sins and the referee’s terrible night as well Fernando Hernandez that in complicity with the international Cesar Ramos in the VAR does not identify the entry of few friends of Adalberto Carrasquilla about the celestial goalkeeper Kevin Mier that will require in-depth studies to know if the Panamanian did not fracture it, but that for both whistlers it was only a reckless action, but without the need for the red card.
Because before this play they also overlooked an attack by Alvaro Angulo about him Toro Fernandez, who arrived at the wrong time and hit the Uruguayan’s knee with his foot, but with a kind criterion and not attached to the rules, they also let him live in the match.
While for UNAM Pumas He did what he had to do, going to play with personality and overcoming his mistakes with a lot of character to get into the playoffs to look for the seventh and eighth guests for the league for the title, after they are already in directly Toluca, Tigres, Cruz Azul, América, Monterrey and Chivas.
While Xolos Tijuana, FC Juárez, Pachuca and Pumas They will look for the two available tickets to make up for a terrible season with the ticket to the final party that could turn them into the horses blacks from the final party.
The match
The match corresponded to the expectations that had been generated, because if Cougars started with a great goal after three minutes, when he beat Kevin Mier With a volley shot in the air without dropping the ball as if doing a karate blow, he put his team ahead.
but after Blue Cross began to respond at the moments when Cougars lost José on the field Juan Macias with an injury that jeopardizes the continuity of his career when it was thought that the injuries were behind him and now he will have to face a possible cruciate ligament operation. a knee
So, with that low, Cougars had to face the celestial reaction, where Gabriel Fernandez appeared at the exact moment to tie the 1-1 tie at 14 minutes and minutes later Fernández himself scored with a shot where Jeremy Marquez He generated the great play with a screen that put Fernández alone to define the 2-1 in a spectacular somersault.
Cement sabotage
For the second half the worst came for Blue Crossbecause not only had they lost due to injury to Kevin Mier, who is very likely to have turned out with fibula fracture for the entry of few friends of Adalberto Carrasquillbecause for the referee it only merited a warning, but the expulsion of Lorenzo Faravelli and with that everything collapsed for cement workers.
Well at 78 minutes Omar Campos He arrived late to the play and committed a foul on the line of the large area on Carrasquilla to give himself a maximum penalty that at 79 Alvaro Angulo converted into a goal to tie 2-2 and put victory on the table in the 85th minute in a shot from Alan Medina in an extension to the second post that left no option Andres Gudiño who only saw how the ball entered his goal.
